Re: Newspapers Are The Thing...Again

87 newspapers were sold last week.

Re: Dare I Ask...? Yet Another WFH Critque Thread

Steve makes a great point.

I got a massage this morning from someone who just got of out of school. And the session was the best I've had in ages.

Re: Dare I Ask...? Yet Another WFH Critque Thread

So is the stumbling block -"New copywriter, no experience so no portfolio = I need to be dog cheap?"

Making the USP "dog cheap"

Re: Dare I Ask...? Yet Another WFH Critque Thread

John,

A couple of ideas for you.

Every client who hires a copywriter regardless of their fees, experience or kudos feels they are taking a risk.

Re: Dare I Ask...? Yet Another WFH Critque Thread

John, I appreciate this took you a good amount of time.

But it demonstrates that you don't know one of... if not the most important aspect of writing copy (IMHO)... which is positioning.

Re: If You Were to Hire a Copywriting Pup, What Would You Look For?

Halbert's ads were an early influence on me as well. I bought a product that broke down 37 of his ads... great learning experience.
